Chapter 76
Chapter 76
As viewers, many people have the misconception that sunny weather is the best for taking pictures, but in reality, excessive sunlight will only mercilessly reveal the wrinkles on a person's face, making the subject look a hundred times worse than usual.
Shooting with the lights on on a cloudy or dark day yields the best results.
As the first day of filming for the new season of "Come See Me", the production team had already calculated the date and picked a "perfect" cloudy day to ensure that the celebrities and ordinary people appearing on screen would look ugly in the sunlight.
This is the first time Jiang Mingyue has ever attended a variety show recording, and Gu Yifan accompanied her personally.
Before leaving, he unusually checked Jiang Mingyue's suitcase to make sure she wouldn't leave a bad impression on the audience due to inappropriate items. However, after checking, Gu Yifan was surprised to find that he had gone to unnecessary trouble.
Jiang Mingyue's luggage was so neatly organized that she was even more experienced than celebrities who had appeared on screen.
The clothes were all practical for movement, and I brought a spare pair of cloth shoes. My toiletries were neatly packed in a toiletry bag, and they were all from well-established domestic brands.
The only slightly awkward thing is that the underwear is covered by sanitary napkins, and the branded packaging of the sanitary napkins has been removed, so it won't have the effect of advertising.
Even the clothes she brought were carefully chosen—all her outerwear was from a brand she was collaborating with on a promotional campaign, and she also brought white T-shirts and black stretch pants, the kind of clothes dance students usually wear. In addition, she also brought a little black dress suitable for formal occasions.
"Don't deliberately get into arguments with people, but if you're bullied, don't suffer in silence. If you need to argue, then argue back. After the argument, contact the staff and ask them to remove those clips," Gu Yifan reminded him matter-of-factly.
Variety shows were something Jiang Mingyue could never have experienced in her past life, so she listened with great curiosity.
Noticing Jiang Mingyue's unusual curiosity this time, Gu Yifan became even more eager to speak, "These kinds of pre-recorded programs rely entirely on editing for the final product. They can make it look exactly how they want it to. Although you're a guest, you're currently very popular, and they invited you on the show just to ride on your fame. I already made it clear when I signed the contract that the content must be reviewed by our team before it can be broadcast. As long as you don't act arrogantly and bully people from beginning to end, you don't need to worry about anything."
A contract is a contract, but how it is actually handled depends on the star's status in the industry.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many celebrities, big and small, who end up as scapegoats in variety shows.
The fact that the company remembered to protect her and even had Gu Yifan accompany her throughout the process is already a rare act of thoughtfulness.
Jiang Mingyue: "Brother Gu, then I'll have to trouble you to check the editing of the footage for me every day from now on."

The sky was obscured by clouds, with only a thin layer of light falling through.
As a guest star, Jiang Mingyue appeared in the latter part of the show, as requested by the production team.
The door of the van was opened, and Li Ruojun jumped out first. After confirming that there were no cameras waiting outside to take unflattering photos of Jiang Mingyue, she turned around and called out, "Sister, come down."
Jiang Mingyue lowered her head and got out of the car, her long hair braided into two long braids.
The host greeted her warmly, immediately exclaiming an exaggerated "Wow!" and reaching out to touch Jiang Mingyue's two braids: "How did you style that? Oh, you have so much hair!"
The host pinched the braid with her fingers, and the fluffy hair did not collapse noticeably.
Autumn arrived at this time, blowing a few strands of hair across Jiang Mingyue's face. She reached up and tucked the hair behind her ear, her slender fingers and palm completely obscuring her face.
The extreme contrast between black and white makes even such a simple gesture as eye-catching as a magazine cover.
"Your face is so small." The host spoke again, while reaching out her hand. Her arm was a little smaller than Jiang Mingyue's, but it could still completely cover Jiang Mingyue's face.
Jiang Mingyue and the host both covered the camera with their hands, making her entire face, along with the hair on her head, disappear.
The host quickly put his hand down and laughed with Jiang Mingyue.
Jiang Mingyue lowered her hand and tilted her face slightly to make her hair clearly visible in front of the camera. She then answered the host's question: "First, divide your hair into left and right sections. Then, tie up the top half of one half of your hair, twist it inward, make a hole and tuck it in, then tie it together with the bottom half. Then, start braiding a five-strand braid and loosen the strands. This will create this effect and make your hair look twice as thick."
The host listened intently, and only after listening did he look surprised: "Mingyue, did you do this yourself?"
After rambling on for so long, the host finally remembered that she hadn't introduced Jiang Mingyue's identity to the camera, and quickly added seriously, "This is Jiang Mingyue, the guest star of the new season of 'Come See Me'."
Jiang Mingyue raised her hand, waved at the camera, and smiled sweetly: "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Mingyue. I am very happy to participate in 'Come See Me'."
During the greeting, Gu Yifan had already gotten out of the nanny van carrying Jiang Mingyue's suitcase and handed it to the staff for inspection.
Most celebrities choose black, white, or silver for their suitcases because these colors are less likely to go wrong on camera. However, Jiang Mingyue's suitcase was bright red. It was covered with stickers from a popular animated series that had been broadcast on Chinese television.
The suitcase was opened and carefully inspected for any hidden snacks or similar items.
The camera flashed through the luggage, and the suitcase was closed again.
"Goodbye, Brother Gu~" Jiang Mingyue said goodbye to Gu Yifan, grabbed her suitcase and stood among the guests who had already arrived.
Before Gu Yifan could leave, a row of luxury cars drove up from behind and stopped rudely next to the van, completely blocking the way for the van to turn around and leave, leaving Gu Yifan unable to move.
Several tall, burly bodyguards in suits got out of the back of the luxury car, walked to the car door which was surrounded by guards, and opened the door themselves.
A foot clad in a light gold high heel embroidered with gold sequins emerged from the carriage, finally revealing the true face of the passenger inside—a face still bearing a touch of childishness appeared in the frame. She wore a light gold suit, her makeup emphasizing her features, but her long hair was draped over her shoulders.
It's Han Jialan.
Why isn't she studying at school instead of participating in a variety show?
It seems she really isn't going to take the college entrance exam seriously.
Jiang Mingyue glanced at it once and then looked away, feeling utterly bored.
Han Jialan seemed to have no intention of getting along with the people present. She ignored the smiling host who offered her the microphone and quickly walked up to Jiang Mingyue. "Sister, I have no other way to contact you. Please come home with me. Mom misses you so much. She's worried sick because you won't answer the phone."
Go up and unleash your full power on her.
A look of confusion and bewilderment crossed Jiang Mingyue's face. She quickly took a few steps back, her expression turning to fear: "Who are you? What do you want?"
Yes, when you're in an unfamiliar environment and someone with unclear intentions bothers you, you should stay far away from them.
Jiang Mingyue hid behind the male guest in fear, her drooping eyelashes concealing the coldness in her eyes, leaving only confusion and fear.
